After coming out of farmer Zhang Laoshi's house, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were a little confused for a moment.
According to Zhang Laoshi, a man in black took shelter from the rain under the eaves of a wooden house that night. After the rain stopped for a while, he left immediately. But the problem is that the culprit of the Lujiazhuang massacre should be a monk.
Moreover, his cultivation is relatively exquisite. How could he reveal his secrets just because he took shelter from the rain? Although Zhang Laoshi did not step out of the house, even if it was covered by the sound of thunder and rain, the movement would definitely not be hidden from the ears of the murderer. So what happened to the murderer?
How about saying nothing and not killing people and silencing them?
After a while, the Fangtang inspector of Wanxiangyuan and the county government team leader came over to report. After they confirmed that if Zhang Laoshi saw it correctly, the man in black carrying a pair of judge pens was probably a famous ""
Zou Fengzhi, the "King of Hell with the Golden Pen". This gentleman's house is by the creek in the south of Zhongjiang County. The inspector and the team leader agreed to ask if we should go and arrest him?
Zou Fengzhi may be well-known in the martial arts world, but he is not a practitioner. At this point, the clues to the case have almost come to an end.
Zhao Ran was uninterested and said casually: "You can go and ask a few people to find out where he went that night."
Seeing the secret expressions of the inspector and the squad leader, Pei Zhongze quickly warned: "No blackmail, no blackmail, just asking questions, be polite in your words, do you understand?"
The inspector and the squad leader agreed and then went about their own business. Pei Zhongze said to Zhao Ran: "These murderers are probably trying to get benefits. If they don't make it clear in advance, they may harm the Zou family in vain."
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Senior brother, let's find a place and wait. The search in the south direction is almost complete. Let's see if there is any news from the east and west."
Pei Zhongze asked: "What if there is still no one?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "If there are still no clues, I'm afraid I have no choice but to go back to Zhongyang Mountain and find a way to deceive the Wu brothers..."
Pei Zhongze said in surprise: "Do you doubt them?"
Zhao Ran spread his hands: "I doubt anyone involved in this case. So far, only the Wu brothers are involved in the case..."
Pei Zhongze frowned: "It shouldn't be them."
Zhao Ran said: "Just try your luck."
There was a tea stall next to the official road. The tea stall had been cleared out by the government officials a long time ago and specially set aside to serve them. The two of them were drinking tea and chatting in the tea stall. Taoist priests from Wanxiang Yuan, fire workers and government officials from the government gathered around the tea stall.
The curfew outside is quite impressive.
After noon, more than a dozen teams that went to the east and west directions returned one after another, and the investigation results reported back were myriad. But they were all trivial matters. From Zhao Ran's point of view, none of them were worthy of success.
Above. In the evening, all the personnel sent out have returned, and everyone is waiting for the next order from Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze.
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the investigation was ineffective and the two days of trouble were in vain."
Pei Zhongze comforted: "It's no wonder. The murderer is a practitioner after all. How can he show his flaws so easily..."
Just as he was talking, he saw a government official riding a big horse galloping towards him. When he got close to the tea stall, he dismounted and reported to the two of them: "Two immortal masters, Zou Fengzhi has run away. Wei Tangtou and Zhang Bantou let Xiao
They came to report that they wanted to send more men to the green willow forest in the south of the city to round up the man named Zou!"
Zhao Ran was startled: "Why is he running?"
Pei Zhongze frowned slightly: "Are you trying to intimidate others?"
The yamen officer argued: "The Immortal Master has already warned me, I don't dare to mess around. In fact, as soon as I knocked on the door of Zou's house, the guy slipped out of the back door. If Team Leader Zhang hadn't arranged for his brothers to keep an eye on the backyard, he wouldn't have
I really let him run away. That guy is very hard-working and his legs and feet are fast. There are only a few people there, so we can’t surround him. Sun Laosan took advantage of him, and now he has lost his fortune."
Zhao Ran asked the officer: "Do you want me to wait and take action?"
The officer smiled and said, "The two immortal masters are just waiting for the good news. Although Zou Fengzhi's kung fu is good, Tangtou Wei alone can do it. What's more, with the help of Bantou Zhang, as long as the forest is surrounded, the man named Zou will run away."
No."
With the permission of Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran, the yamen officer gathered more than thirty people, each riding a fast horse and followed closely. If it weren't for the lack of horses, Zhao Ran would have wanted him to take more people - after all, he was surrounding the forest.
, I am really afraid that there will be loopholes when there are few people. Now this is the only clue, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze can only place their hope on this.
After drinking another cup of tea, Pei Zhongze couldn't sit still and said to Zhao Ran: "Junior brother, why don't you and I go too."
Zhao Ran agreed, mounted his old donkey, rode side by side with Pei Zhongze, and rushed towards the green willow forest in the south of the county. Dozens of Taoist priests, fire workers and government servants followed behind the horse, running with a bang.
These yamen servants all recognized the truth. After running around for an hour, they finally arrived at the Green Willow Forest. This forest is next to the creek and not far from Zou's house. The forest is not dense, but it is dark at the moment.
Don't know the details inside.
A government officer posted outside the forest came over to meet him with a torch and a lantern ball. Pei Zhongze asked, "Where is he? Have you caught him?"
Several government officials said: "Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang are searching in the woods, but we don't know what happened."
Suddenly, they saw scattered fire coming from the forest. Two government officials rushed over to check, and then shouted out of the forest: "Caught! Caught!"
I saw a group of people holding torches swarming out of the forest. The leaders were Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang. Behind them, a big man was tied up and pushed out by the government officials.
Tangtou Wei happily bowed and said: "Master Immortal, this is the one named Zou! You are a thief, you hurt one of our brothers, you really don't know whether to live or die!"
Looking at Zou Fengzhi who was pushed to his knees in front of him, Pei Zhongze was about to ask, "It's okay, why are you running away?", but Zhao Ran pulled his sleeve.
Zhao Ran said coldly with a dark face: "Zou Fengzhi, your case has been committed. Tell me, do you want to die or live?"
Zou Fengzhi raised his head and looked at Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran. Zhang Bantou slapped his head down, pressed his neck and said: "These are two immortal masters from the Taoist sect. There is no way to offend! Keep your head down and speak!"
Zou Fengzhi sighed and said: "Zou has been out of his mind these past few days. He can't eat well and can't sleep. It's good now. Since the incident happened, he doesn't have to worry about it all day long. Now he feels at ease."
Zhao Ran said "Yeah": "Tell me about it."
Zou Fengzhi closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "I killed Li Mazi. I admit it, but it has nothing to do with Aunt Zhao. She doesn't know anything. Don't implicate her in this matter. I will bear all the blame."
..." So he recounted the details of that day's case.
After Zou Fengzhi finished speaking, he was dragged to a distant place to wait for orders. Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang explained the confession, and the case became clear.
Li Mazi’s name is Li Zhong. He was named Li Mazi because of his pockmarked face. His family lives in Shehong County. He is also a famous swordsman in the world. He is very similar to Zou Fengzhi and is regarded as one of the top martial arts masters in Long’an Prefecture.
Because they were not far apart, Zou Fengzhi often visited Li's house, competed with Li Zhong in martial arts, and laughed and talked about anecdotes in the world.
In March last year, Li Zhong brought back a Yangzhou thin horse from Jiangnan and married her as a concubine, named Aunt Zhao. One day when Zou Fengzhi went to visit Li Zhong, she saw this Aunt Zhao, and her soul was immediately attracted. Although he looked like
He was not handsome by any means, but he was much better than the pockmarked Li Zhong, and he had good poetry. He soon started flirting with Aunt Zhao, and eventually fell in love with her.
Li Zhong had to go out again a few days ago. It was said that he would not be back for half a month or a month at most. Aunt Zhao quickly sent a message to Zou Fengzhi. After Li Zhong left, Zou Fengzhi rushed to Li's house. He was generous and everyone had already arrived.
The dozen or so servants of the Li family were arranged properly, and they lived in the house in a grand manner, just like the masters.
However, when he and Aunt Zhao were in a passionate relationship, that is, on the night of the thunderstorm, Li Zhong suddenly came back. Zou Fengzhi, who had been smashed, violently injured someone. He was caught off guard and Li Zhong died on the spot.
Zou Fengzhi discussed with Aunt Zhao and told the public that Li Zhong had not returned since he had gone out. Then Zou Fengzhi climbed over the wall and took the body away and buried it in the wilderness.
This is what happened in the case. Zou Fengzhi confessed and only put all the blame on himself. In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "Although this case is not small, it somehow alarmed the two immortal masters?"
Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran looked at each other speechlessly, both frustrated. (To be continued)
